Ranz des Vaches
A Ranz des Vaches (, French:) or Kuhreihen (German:) is a type of work song traditionally played on the horn by the Swiss Alpine herdsmen as they called their cattle from the pastures for milking or the descent from alpine pastures. The Kuhreihen is linked to the Swiss nostalgia and Homesickness (also known as mal du Suisse "Swiss illness" or Schweizerheimweh "Swiss homesickness").
